[**Listen here.**](https://crimethinc.com/podcast/hotwire-36) It’s 17 years and a day after [9/11](https://crimethinc.com/2002/04/04/forget-terrorism) and Iraq is still in [shambles](http://dialectical-delinquents.com/iraq/), so we rip apart liberals for thinking George W. Bush is somehow [“cute”](https://www.elle.com/culture/a22895284/george-w-bush-michelle-obama-candy-john-mccain-funeral/). 2001 pops up again when we compare the current economic crisis in Argentina to the wave of worker-led [factory takeovers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-DSu8RPJt8) and [anarchist media](https://es-la.facebook.com/AntenaNegraTv) that resisted the last economic meltdown there. We call for anarchists to incorporate a [critique of nationalism](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarchist-federation-against-nationalism) itself into our anti-fascist strategy and analysis, we include preliminary information for [autonomous relief efforts](https://www.gofundme.com/autonomous-aid-for-florence) based in mutual aid for #HurricaneFlorence, and we wrap up the National [\#PrisonStrike](https://incarceratedworkers.org/news/prison-strike-updates-week-four) with an action report and a bunch of [phone-zaps](https://incarceratedworkers.org/phone-zaps)! Send us news, events, or ideas on how our show can better serve anarchist activity in your town by emailing us at [podcast@crimethinc.com](mailto:podcast@crimethinc.com).
